Treatment for Binocular Vision Dysfunction

Treatment for Binocular Vision Dysfunction

Fortunately, there is a treatment that can eliminate the symptoms of binocular vision dysfunction – micro-prism lenses. Micro prism lenses are standard eyeglass lenses that have been infused with small amounts of grinded prism. Exactly how much prism you will need in your lenses will depend on the extent of your eye misalignment. However, once the prism is infused into your usual prescription lenses, it can make it much easier for your eyes to focus on one single line of sight. Although you may notice a definite improvement of up to 50% in your vision immediately, over subsequent visits where your micro-prism lenses are perfected, the average patient will see an impressive 80% reduction in their symptoms by the end of their treatment.

NeuroVisual Medicine

NeuroVisual specialists have the necessary education, training, and experience to be able to identify and diagnose Binocular Vision Dysfunction and provide the appropriate treatment.

Before a patient can be approved for neurovisual medicine, they must first undergo a comprehensive vision assessment. This is to ensure that the issues that they are experiencing can indeed be resolved using this type of treatment. These assessments can last between two and three hours long, so patients are asked to ensure that they allow enough time for this assessment. This will include taking a very thorough medical history and specialized testing.

The way in which BVD is treated is through using bespoke prisms which are incorporated into your glasses or lenses. These will effectively displace the image that one eye sees so that it matches up perfectly with the other eye, counteracting the misalignment that the patient usually experiences. The exact amount of prism needed will vary between patients and will be fine-tuned over a series of appointments. Most patients can expect to see up to a 50% improvement in their symptoms right away, and at the end of fine-tuning, the average patient will have around an 80% reduction in the symptoms of BVD that they have been experiencing. This can make a tremendous difference in their quality of life.
